29、nd while the cook was making the fire and preparing our breakfast，some of us would swim and rest，some would read and write，others would watch birds or catch butterflies and insects”这一长句话可以得知，选项A (游泳和休息)，C(观察鸟)，D(抓昆虫)都提到了。而选项 B(写日记)是在下午做的事情，所以为正确答案(游泳和休息)。3. What did the native guides do to help the

37、, but that may be an option for you, especially if you havent focused yet on what you want to do in graduate school.解析 本题考查推理判断。从文章中的提问者询问的问题：“你能否就大学毕业后去上研究生，还是在取得硕士学位之前先去上班，并积累一些经验提出建议?”以及从女孩、男孩二人的回答可以判断出对话最有可能发生在咨询过程中，即选项D，而不是在教室里、面试或小组讨论过程中。2.

39、当时没有直接去上研究生的遗憾。所以选项C正确。选项A文中没有提到，选项B，D都违背了原文的意思。3.

42、答案:C解析 17-20M: Its never easy to admit you are in the wrong. Being human, we all need to know the art of apologizing.

44、or friend, the late Clarence Libel, telling me about a man who came to him with a variety of signs: headaches, insomnia and stomach trouble. No physical cause could be found.

47、 or judged too roughly, or just neglected, do something about it right now. 解析 本题考查主旨大意。第一段的最后指出“一旦我们知道自己犯了错误，我们就会感到良心上的不安，只有承认了自己的错误，我们的良心才能恢复平静。”文章最后又一次强调了承认错误的重要性。所以，当我们犯错误的时候，我们就应当按照选项C所说的内容去做。2. What was the cause of the patients disease?A.Headaches.B.Stomach trouble.C.Disturbance of conscience

48、.D.Some unknown physical weakness.答案:C解析 本题考查细节理解。作者利用举例来说明道歉的重要性。例子中提到病人感到“headaches，insomnia and stomach trouble”这些均为病人的临床症状，不是病因，所以A，B两项应先排除；而选项 D并未在文章中提到，也应排除；因此所剩选项C为正确答案。文章中提到当病人把给他哥哥的道歉信寄出去以后，便立刻感到自己的病被治愈了，而且事实上也如此，由此可见，病人的疾病不是身体上的原因，而是由于良心上的不安造成的。3. What had the patient clone to his brother?

49、A.He had sent his brother abroad.B.He had cheated his brother out of his inheritance.C.He had given just a little share of the inheritance to his brother.D.He had gone abroad leaving his brother nothing.答案:B解析 本题考查细节理解。参见第二段第四句话“as executor of his fathers will，he had been cheating his brother，who li

Now those 1 seem hopelessly old-fashioned: this Christmas, there were a lot of 2 computers under the tree. 3 that computers are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children 4 taught to use them on schoolas early as possible. The problem for schools is that when

53、 it 5 computers, parents dont always know best. Many schools are 6 parental impatience and are purchasing hardware without 7 educational planning so they can say, OK, weve moved into the computer age. Teachers 8 themselves caught in the middle of the problembetween parent pressure and 9 educational
